Your company’s work uniforms are reflection of your business and an important part of each customer’s experience. By spending the time to create clean, sharp work uniforms you can improve your customer’s experience at your business.

Picking work uniforms can be a daunting task. To help you in the process we’ve outlined a few key topics to focus on when selecting your uniforms:

Appearance is important for employees and customers

Your businesses image is the most important part of first impression you make on customers, and so it’s important that your work uniforms are professional looking. When selecting uniforms, try to find pieces that come in multiple styles and fits so that each employee’s uniform fits them well. In addition, picking well designed uniforms for your employees can help them feel more comfortable wearing them, allowing them to feel better about serving your clients.

You should also make sure that your work uniforms match the business you are providing – if it’s a formal restaurant, then the uniforms should be crisp and well fitting on all employees. Similarly, your uniforms should be able to help your customers denote work staff from customer staff, making it easy for them to find help when needed.

Pick the right fabric for your job

The right fabric can make a big difference in your employees’ ability to do their job. If your employees’ will be active and moving, it’s important to select a fabric that can accommodate all the movement. Make sure your work pants and bottoms are flexible and breathable, and can withstand tears.

If your employees will be working outdoors on jobs like construction, make sure your work uniforms are made of durable and rugged material. In addition to durability, outdoor work uniforms need to be able to be used year-round, withstanding all forms of weather conditions including rain, snow and mud. In addition, make sure that if your employees are using dangerous tools or exposed to flames that the material is flame resistant.

Spend time thinking about colors

Selecting your work uniform’s color is an important part of the uniform, and should not be made quickly. The color(s) of your work uniform should be representative of your company and culture, and should portray that to your customers. The most important part about picking work uniform colors is ensuring they are inviting and approachable; they don’t need to be bright or flashy, but should match your firm’s logo and atmosphere.

Make sure your uniforms are safe

Many business owners are unaware that when a health or safety inspector does an on-site visit, part of their assessment is your employees’ uniforms. It’s important to ensure that your work uniforms are designed for your specific business. If your employees will be working around flames and fire (e.g. chefs in the kitchen) make sure the uniforms are flame resistant. Or if your employees will be doing construction or outdoor work, make sure that the uniforms incorporate proper footwear (e.g. steel toed boots).

Consider the cost

Work uniforms can be expensive and so it’s important to think about the financial burden for both you and your employees. Make sure that key components can be purchased from multiple vendors, which should help keep prices down. In addition, think about your employees and how much the uniforms will cost them – try to pick pieces that won’t be a significant burden on them to purchase, and potentially replace if damaged.

The start of a new year is a great time to review and upgrade your current work uniform to a new, more modern work uniform.

Staying relevant and current is important for your brand, especially in an increasingly competitive business environment. Refreshing your employee uniforms with a modern work uniform is an easy way to stand out from the competition and portray a strong, modern brand. “Keeping your employee’s work uniforms updated with the latest trends in business and work fashion helps improve brand credibility”, said Lester Frischman, National Sales Manager of Best Buy Uniforms & Promotions.

Here a few trends in work uniforms for 2018:

Stylish uniforms are “in”

Don’t be afraid to use bold and flamboyant components in your uniform. Whether it’s a brightly colored monogram polo, a funky hat, or a new type of material (e.g. denim), a “statement piece” is a key component of a modern work uniform. In addition, a statement piece is a memorable event and can send a strong, lasting message about your brand to your customers. And remember, since you’re refreshing parts of your uniform annually, its OK to take risks.

Demin on demin is back

After being out of style for over a decade, denim on denim is back and making an impact on modern work uniforms. Hotels, restaurants, and kitchen staff are embracing the modern look and replacing classic cotton items like aprons and bibs with trendy denim ones. Pairing denim with your existing uniform can help instantly give your business a trendy, fun vive.

Don’t be afraid of chinos and a checkered top

Instead of having your staff wear formal dress ware including ties, think about replacing the dress pants with chinos and the ties with a checkered shirt. Casual button ups are a great way to modernize your business and transform your public image.

Keep your employees approachable

Business culture has been become more casual, and most likely so have your customers. Understanding your customers and ensuring your uniforms communicate an approachable tone can help drive customer engagement and sales. In fact, in many modern work environments embracing a business casual (or business smart) modern work uniform can make your staff appear more approachable, and help your customers better relate to your brand.

Change part of your uniform annually

In today’s culture of social media and fast updates, businesses must make sure they can hold their customers’ interest. As a result, business uniforms should now be refreshed on a much more regular basis (sometimes even annually). Think about changing out one component of your uniform every year, and implementing an entirely new modern work uniform every 24 – 36 months. This will keep your employees engaged, and your brand fresh and modern in the eyes of your customers.

Featured Modern Work Uniforms Components

Staying on top of modern work uniform trends is important. Not only do you want the public to view you as current, but you want your workers to feel comfortable and fashionable while at work. When choosing work uniforms, its important to find the right balance between trendy and function. At Best Buy Uniforms our specialists are available to help you.

We’ve written before about the business benefits of outfitting your staff in branded, matching work uniforms and clothes, but did you know uniforms help employees too? By providing your employees an outfit to wear everyday you save your employees time and energy, and by doing so increase their energy level.

President Barack Obama wore the same blue or grey suit every morning while he was President, Steve Jobs wore the black mock turtleneck and jeans, and Mark Zuckerberg has a closet of the same grey T-shirt. These great leaders all figured out the same thing – wearing the same outfit (or work uniform) each day removes an early morning decision, saving energy and brainpower. And more importantly, that energy can then be applied to more important work throughout the day.

Many workers, whether at a small business or large company, face significant stress and pressure in the course of their daily job. However, did you know that work wear and outfit are also a contributor to employee stress? Many employees can experience anxiety wearing their personal clothing, as differences in style can create disparity at the work place. By forcing employees to wear work uniforms and dress similarly all employees will feel as if they are part of a team, and you will benefit from increased productivity. By requiring employees to wear a work uniform you can help alleviate some of your employees anxiety, and increase productivity.

Many small businesses also fail to realize the importance of a work uniform, ignoring the employee and branding benefits. When thinking about your own business, make sure you consider your employees when deciding if a work uniform is appropriate. Are your employees habitually late? Do you constantly have to remind your staff what is appropriate “work attire”? If so, implementing a standardized wok uniform could help.

Below are a few things to keep in mind when thinking about work uniforms for your employees:

Keep costs in mind

Keep costs in mind: Many employees spend considerable amounts of money purchasing clothing and uniforms for work. By implementing a standardized uniform you can help your employees save on work related wardrobe and clothing, thereby increasing their overall take-home pay and happiness. Further, since most employers buy uniforms in bulk, you can negotiate much more affordable pricing for your employees.

Make your uniform flexible

A customized uniform is important to developing a brand, but make sure you can source work wear and uniform pieces from multiple vendors. Doing so will help you maintain the longevity of the uniform, and can also help keep costs down.

Think about your employees’ comfort

We talked above about employee stress and anxiety from apparel, so keep that in mind when selecting your uniform. Don’t choose clothing that will make your employees uncomfortable, as it’s likely to have a negative impact on their productivity.

Carefully evaluate work uniforms implementing

While we are proponents of a well-dressed workforce, our specialists realize the costs (both tangible and intangible) of going from “free dress” to uniforms. Let us help you through the process of building a uniform, sourcing vendors, and negotiating discounts. As always, feel free to reach out to us via phone or email.

No matter what the outdoor job is, it’s essential to choose workwear and footwear that fits well, provides protection from injury, and is durable in a tough work environment. Here are some things to consider when deciding what kind of workwear is right for your job.

Types of Material

Workwear is usually made with fabrics that can withstand the elements and extreme work environments. These work clothes are first and foremost designed to be extra-rugged, but also need to be comfortable to wear all day. Depending on your specific job, some materials may be better than others.

Popular fabrics for workwear include, cotton duck, denim, flannel, and leather. Cotton duck is the gold standard for workwear, is extremely durable, and isn’t prone to snagging or tearing. Cotton duck is also very effective at blocking out the wind, which can be beneficial when working long hours outdoors. Although it isn’t flame retardant, cotton duck is less prone to melting or catching on fire when exposed to high heat, which makes it a good workwear choice if your job exposes you to small sparks or falling ash.

Denim is another fabric commonly used in workwear, as it is slightly more comfortable than cotton duck. Flannel is 100% cotton and is commonly used in colder conditions due to its insulating properties. Leather is frequently used to make items such as jackets, work boots, gloves, and belts.

Common Workwear Features

Workwear is known for its durability (and not its unnecessary features), and so any additional features are typically designed with a functional purpose. Features such as heavy duty zippers, rivets, and bar tacks all add strength to the work clothes at stress points, which in turn adds to the life of the workwear. While some of these features may add price, the longer life span and increased functionality are worth it.

Triple stitching is another feature that make seams significantly stronger than in non work clothing. Other special features often found in workwear include waterproofing and flame resistance. Look for these if your job is during a rainy season or if you work around open flames or sparks.

Workwear Accessories

Depending on the job site and season, you may consider adding some functional accessories to your work clothing. Gloves add additional protection to hands for demanding jobs or colder conditions, while hats and safety goggles / glasses are essential in construction environments.

Ball caps and sunglasses are useful during the summer months to protect from UV rays. Keep in mind that it is important to wear sunglasses that are American National Standards Institute rated. They should be impact resistant and OSHA approved.

The right work clothing can make or break a job experience

Whether you’re a construction worker working outside in the middle of winter, a mechanic working in a garage, or a worker in any other demanding job, it’s essential to have the right clothing for the job. Every job will need work clothing specific to its requirements and environments, so before purchasing be sure to check out any job-related requirements.

When it comes to choosing housekeeping uniforms there are many different styles and approaches, and depending on your business need, they may not all make sense for your staff.

Formal vs. Informal maid uniform?

Whether you run a national resort chain or a cozy bed and breakfast, providing your staff with a quality housekeeping uniform that matches the atmosphere of your business will set a professional tone for both guests and employees. There are many different options for both formal and informal hotel atmospheres including service shirts, polos, tunics, and dresses. Regardless of your hotel’s class, providing a consistent housekeeping uniform across the entire staff will convey a clean professional business image.

Color Color Color!

Choosing a housekeeping uniform in a color that is either consistent or complementary to the other staff uniforms is a great way to create a similar look from all employees. Keep in mind that you may want to customize the housekeeping uniform to include your branding or hotel logo, so choosing the right color fabric is imperative for the overall professional look.

Remember, you can never go wrong with choosing all black or all white housekeeping uniforms as they convey a clean and hygienic hotel environment.

Choosing the Fabric

Housekeeping is demanding work. Choose a fabric that is durable to wear as well as stain resistant to help get more life out of your maid uniform investment. Choosing a fabric that is not only functional but also flattering and stylish will also keep your staff comfortable while they’re working.

When researching housekeeping uniforms, look for fabrics that are anti-wrinkle, waterproof and/or treated with stain guards to ensure that your staff always looks presentable regardless of how dirty the job.

Accessories and Other Useful Features

Accessorizing your housekeeping uniforms can ensure your staff not only looks professional, but also provides some added functionality as well. Consider things such as extra pockets, easy buttons, gloves, and aprons – these will go a long way with keeping your hotel staff running smoothly and looking sharp. Extra pockets allow hospitality staff to efficiently carry around supplies and provides a place to store small items used throughout the day. Gloves convey a crisp clean look, while adding an apron to the housekeeping uniform allows for added functionality (and additional pockets) during some of the dirty work like scrubbing and disinfecting.

Be mindful of your climate where your business is located; providing short sleeved housekeeping uniforms during the summer and long sleeved uniforms during the winter is a great feature to keep staff comfortable regardless of the season.

Proper housekeeping uniforms benefit your business

When you are running a hotel, resort, or a bed and breakfast professional housekeeping uniforms are an absolute must to convey a welcoming and clean business environment. It is important to consider your hotel style, company branding, and staff appearance when choosing your housekeeping uniforms (or maid uniforms) as this is why uniforms are considered one of the most effective forms of marketing and branding. Additionally, choosing the right housekeeping uniform is an opportunity to boost your employees’ loyalty and ensuring that your business stands out from the competition.

Over a three decade ago, one family came together to continue what their father had started. A son left his life in Los Angeles, investments were made and most importantly a lot of hard work and dedication was committed to a common goal – starting Best Buy Uniforms as the go to place for businesses to purchases uniforms.

In 1986 Best Buy Uniforms was born.

Milton Frischman had worked for his brother in a linen business for years. He was well versed in the industry and searching to expand for more when he was diagnosed with lung cancer. Just 18 months before he died, he invested his life saving’s to start Commercial Textiles Inc., – a business that sold uniforms wholesale to retailers in the restaurant and hotel industry.

After Milton passed, the survival of the business was in question. The family accountants and advisers did the numbers and urged Milton’s wife, Roslyn and her children to cut their losses and close the business, but the family didn’t feel the same.

One by one the siblings banded together. David Frischman left his marketing manager position at Twentieth Century Fox and joined his sister Cindy Frischman-Notkin to develop a business model and Lester Frischman to become the company’s treasurer.

Together they decided that going nationwide would open more prospects than just their previous concentration in western Pennsylvania.

Best Buy Uniforms invests heavily to build a sustainable business

It was time to take a chance and the family decided to make a $30,000 investment into a computer system that could help them easily manage inventory and a customer database. With a toll-free telephone number and some creative advertising, the business began to grow.

“The computer gives us information my father would have never dreamed of,” says Les. Adds David, who is company president: “My father used the old style of bookkeeping, writing in ledger books and adding by hand. The computer system makes payables and receivables very easy.” It also helped Commercial Textiles service orders faster than many similar companies, giving the company an important competitive edge, the brothers say.

More risks still had to be taken. More capital needed to be gamed so the Frishmans’ again took a gamble and took out a $40,000 loan. It wasn’t easy, but eventually, they got the loan they needed.

Starting Best Buy Uniforms – Growing via Hospitality and Restaurants

The family took on tedious tactics of thumbing through telephone directories from major U.S. cities and personally contacting managers at hotels and restaurants. Best Buy Uniforms sought out those upset with their customer service and offered a remedy to a company’s problem by providing attentive and helpful service.

Eventually business picked up and profits were made. By 1990, the company almost doubled their earnings and there was only promise for growth.

Growth has only continued throughout the years and the risk has paid off. The business was based on family and the business homes family will continue the business.

“My hope is that the future of the business will have the third generation of our family to take over Best buy Uniforms by my son Max and my brother’s children,” added Lester Frischman.

No one knows what the future holds, but one thing is for sure. Best Buy Uniforms is a business build on family and one that flourishes on excellent customer service.

From Starting Best Buy Uniforms to Today

Today Best Buy Uniforms offers over 3,000 different work uniform products across all industries including restaurants, hospitality, housekeeping, chef uniforms, security uniforms, work wear, and more. That said, Best Buy Uniforms has remained true to its roots and continues to provide a large offering of uniforms to the restaurant and hospitality business.

They say you shouldn’t judge a book by its cover, but in today’s fast paced world, a first impression is sometimes all you get, and appearance is a big part of that first impression. From a t-shirt advertising a favorite band to a hat advertising a favorite sports team, how we dress tells someone a lot about who we are, from just a single glance. The business world is no exception to this; how employees dress directly effects how customers and even rival markets see your company.

A perfect example of this is when a friend of mine was walking through a store, and was mistaken as an employee, simply because of the color of his shirt. That is what effective and consistent uniform branding can do: it puts your business in the customer’s mind without even trying and creates a strong association with something as easily as recognizable as a color.

Of course the benefits to dressing your employees in a particular way, goes way beyond brand recognition. Here are 9 more reasons you should provide your employees with a uniform:

(Free) Walking Billboards: When you outfit your employees uniform with something as simple as a company logo on a polo, you are gaining exposure wherever they go.

Builds Credibility: Not only does it show that you are serious about your business, it also is a visual representation of the man-power your company possesses.

Increased Visibility: Customers rightly dislike having to hunt someone down and guess who the right person to ask is. Further breaking down uniforms between specific job sets allows customers to easily identify exactly who they are looking for.

Employee Morale: Uniforms give your employees a team-based atmosphere and provide a sense of belonging, fostering team work

Employee Performance: They also serve as a constant reminder to employees that they are representing a company as well as themselves.

More Secure Work Place: Regulated uniforms make non-employees easy to identify and help keep employee-only areas free from unauthorized personnel.

Employee Safety: Unfortunately, accidents are bound to happen in the work place, but with the right uniform, the possibility of injuries can be brought to a minimum. Reflective vests and flame resistant coveralls are just some of them many parts of a uniform that are instrumental in protecting some of your greatest assets: your employees .

Cleanliness: When working with the public, things can get messy and without the proper work-wear messy can lead to sickness. Scrubs for nurses are probably one of the best examples. They have to be made of a specific material that can handle the frequent high-temperature washes that their clothing requires.

Overall business image: In addition to all of the above benefits, one of the most important, is that uniforms improve the overall business image by making your business look more organized and give customers the sense of pride you have for your business. In a restaurant, everything from the state of a server’s apron to how well the host’s tie is tied goes towards the overall customer experience, and their view of your business.

No matter the job sector, it is easy to see why uniforms are an integral part of any business. They drastically improve your customer service, turn you into a recognized professional in your field, and improve your employee’s job quality and their safety.

Work uniforms offer many advantages to companies. One that is often overlooked is team spirit.

It is fascinating to watch companies spend millions advocating teamwork and cooperation and then flail with a culture of individualism and competition. Occupational psychologists find that a team minded attitude can begin in the employees homes. How? A work uniform dress policy, literally.

When employers choose a uniform for employees, they communicate far more than they realize within their corporate culture. Brand pride, workplace identity, and teamwork / egalitarian values. The purpose of corporate culture is to mobilize and unify the entire workforce to carry out with extreme effectiveness the company mission.

Work Uniforms, when chosen well, are an excellent tool to unify your company’s teams.

Brand pride is often where companies stop in their uniform policy. Usually corporate logic goes something like this: Let s select uniforms for our entire workforce, so the customer can recognize our staff and hopefully they look okay and support our brand, and cost us little money. Well-chosen uniforms can be very attractive, enhancing brand pride, while being very affordable. The key is choosing a great uniform supply partner, with a great, stylish selection at great prices.

Work Uniforms can increase employee productivity and performance

When employees get dressed in uniform during the morning, their subconscious focus shifts to your brand and performance with a catch. This shift is several times more significant if the uniform is attractive and communicates your brand well. How many employers would pay $6 or $7 a week if employee performance were to increase 10% across all company metrics? Almost no employer would refuse this return on investment. Best Buy Uniforms offers an excellent selection and knowledgeable uniform experts to get your company in the sweet zone: where uniform prices are economical and branding impact is high.

Brand-supporting work uniforms promote corporate culture

If your brand is communicated well, studies show wearing a brand-supporting uniform will make employees mindful of your corporate policies and mission to the customer. An added benefit is a significant increase in team focus. When everyone on the team is wearing a uniform, aggression between employees decreases significantly and a team mindset ensues. Psychologist say this effect is due to the elimination of social competition in dress (which is rampant from school age onward in social settings) and the fact that employees are literally wearing your brand and values. It is easy to see how uniforms enhance collaboration and teamwork.

Let Best Buy Uniforms help design a work uniform for your company

Best Buy Uniforms is considered by many industry experts as providing excellent quality, style, and selection while maintaining the lowest prices of quality uniform suppliers.

If a picture is worth a thousand words, just think of the many positive words the perfect uniform says to your customers.

In a world where large companies spend many millions with creative ad agencies in New York or Los Angeles just to enhance their brand, why not spend just a few dollars per individual to transform your employees into walking billboards communicating your brand, both in and out of the office every working day of the year?

Customer experiences drive sales

In virtually any retail organization, sales are largely driven by how eager the customer is to walk into your store and how they feel when there, as compared to the competition. Have you ever chosen a less convenient or more expensive retail option, just because it provided a more enjoyable experience? We all have.

Why? Well, often because of how you felt about being in that store. Maybe the merchandise seemed a little better; however, most American consumers choose where they shop based on how much they enjoy the experience. Studies show that employee appearance, especially professional attire, ads a level of credibility and likability that drives as much as 22% in improved sales over time in a typical retail environment when ranked close to a 5 out of 5 in surveys, as compared to employee appearance and attire that rank neutral.

Branded work attire has been shown to boost sales

Do you want your employees to help encourage customers to buy or to negatively impact their desire to buy? Most managers would answer of course to this simple question, and yet they ignore the tremendous ROI that the perfect uniform branding has on sales.

Many nice restaurants have standard attire of a white shirt and black pants, missing the incredible opportunity to brand their business and add to the professionalism of their staff with a sharp uniform that is consistent with the restaurant image. With an annual revenue per employee of just $100,000 (such as Starbucks), an increase of just 2% extra annual sales (likely somewhat higher in many business with professional, sharp uniforms) over time would easily reward an expense of $200 or $300 per employee for uniforms every year.

Since uniforms provide a unique way of increasing branding and sales exponentially over time, how do you choose a retailer that will fully maximize your branding ROI?

There are 4 components:

Updated, stylish clothing choices

High quality materials that present a professional appearance

Great prices (the lower the price and higher the quality of your employee look or appearance, the greater the ROI

Great customer service so your employees receive the right uniform on time, with the right fit, maximizing your brand and sales every day.

Best Buy Uniforms is an elite partner that performs all 4 of these requirements well.

Scrubs and other medical uniforms for health care professional are made with different kinds of fabric materials. Best Buy Uniforms wants to help you learn about these various materials and how they can affect your scrubs and in some ways, your work performance.

Most scrubs, such as nursing scrubs are made with a blend of different fabrics. The most common combination is the polyester and cotton blend. Some scrubs uniforms are made with 100% cotton while others are constructed of 100% polyester. Finally, there are different synthetic fabric blends of rayon and spandex.

When considering purchasing your medical uniforms, it is just as important to think of the material of your scrubs

Depending on the needs and demands of your work, the material used to construct the uniforms can truly make a difference while you work. Your medical scrub uniform must be sturdy enough to handle wear, resist bodily fluids, and stand up to multiple washes. Scrubs or medical uniforms that fail to do this become costly over time. Not only expensive regarding monetary value but costly in terms of time and energy. Poorly constructed scrubs will have you searching for new uniforms and spending more money in the long run.

Polyester and Cotton Blended Scrubs

Most scrubs, such as the scrubs we sell, are made of a mixture of polyester and cotton. This combination is popular because of all of the benefits it provides, which include affordability, machine washable, quick drying in the wash, and little care and maintenance requirements. Polyester and cotton blends are mostly “wash and go.” For medical professional that prefer to iron their polyester and cotton blend scrubs, iron on a low to moderate heat to prevent burning, burn shines, and melting.

Popular polyester and cotton blends

We have many polyester and cotton blend scrubs for you to choose from in all kinds of colors and fits. The most popular polyester and cotton blend medical uniforms and scrubs are made in one of the following mixes:

55% polyester and 45% cotton

65% polyester and 35% cotton

Cotton Scrubs or Cotton Medical Uniforms

Cotton is another popular choice. Cotton feels very soft to the touch and is durable. Plus, cotton is one of the few fabric that helps hide embarrassing undergarment lines. However, cotton takes longer to dry, wrinkles easily, and is much more expensive than polyester blends.

Synthetic Blend Medical Uniforms

More recent models of medical uniforms, not necessarily scrubs are made of synthetic blends that include spandex and rayon. Mixes of cotton and spandex are excellent options for medical professionals that need clothes that come with some stretch. Rayon and polyester blends are often the preference of those who value strength in their uniforms.
